Why ’skinny and weak’ is not an option

By Elliott | May 21, 2008

About a year ago I got a call from a kid who plays baseball for The University Of Tampa. On the phone his voice sounded deep and his conviction was strong. He told me “Elliott, I want to be a starter on my university baseball team next year. To do this I need to gain a little weight.” Since helping skinny kids get jacked is one of my best specialties I told him, “Just show up at my gym tomorrow and we’ll get you on ‘The Road To Jacked’ right away.”

The next afternoon as I was putting away some 45 plates from training a 270 pound defensive end for the Tampa Bay Storm and behind me walks up this 150 pound weakling… with the SAME deep-ass voice that I heard on the phone the day before! Needless to say, I was shocked!

His name was Brett. Brett and I began that day (we had a lot of work to do!) with a discussion about FOOD. Notice that I didn’t say nutrition, I said FOOD. This kid just needed to eat, a lot! We took him from nibbling on Kit Kats and Skim Milk for breakfast to pounding 5 eggs with 3 slices of wheat bread; from drinking Diet Coke to choking down 3 Myoplex Protein Shakes per day.

We started with the basics… SQUATS, DEADLIFTS, BENCH PRESS (yes, bench press for baseball players!), SLED DRAGGING, and his favorite of all FARMERS CARRIES.

Within 3 months, “Brett The Speck” transformed into “Brett The Beast”! He gained over 30 pounds of rock solid muscles, he was running faster, hitting harder and making a HUGE impression on his coaches.

Brett started baseball season with a bang! He was bigger, stronger and faster. And it happened so fast that the UT athletic administrators insisted that he take a “Banned Substance piss test” to assure them that he wasn’t on steroids!!! I told him that that was the best compliment that they could have paid him.

Brett and his UT baseball team have just qualified for the NCAA World Championship in St. Louis. And Brett, the skinny punk that asked me to train him is a starter on that team!

How did he do it?

We followed the exact program that I outlined in my http://www.FootballStrengthProrgam.com

What? A football training program for baseball?

Principles are principles buddy! What gets a footballer jacked with get ANYONE jacked!

I am currently working on a program for you that will be tweaked a little more specifically for:

Baseball, Wrestling, Strongman, Basketball, ‘Tough Guys’, and anyone else who has a need for strength, mass and speed (EVERY man!)

What do you want? What are you willing to do?
